Simple, light-weight server for RF commands (such as: IR, 433 MHz etc.) for appliances.

• Install the poetry dependency tool (if not installed yet) by pip install --user poetry for more info see poetry docs

• In project directory press poetry install

• Create MongoDB database named ir-commands.

• Create collection named commands.

• Set the DATABASE_URL environment variable the MongoDB URL.

• Run it using poetry run python src/app.py.

• In production run is recommended to use gunicorn see gunicorn page.

• In case of editing the dependencies list, after running the poetry command, please run poetry export -f requirements.txt > requirements.txt to update the requirements.txt for the production deploy.

The Server is Build with Python, with the Flask framework for the HTTP Routing, MongoDB for the data storing.

If you have a project that uses RF commands for appliances (For example, see my great project casanet), worry no more! this project will help with storing and fetching commands on demand. With simple RESTfull API, you will be able the get all the available devices in the system, and their known commands.

Anyone can access the API, but to manipulate the data the request need to authorized by the remote server as a valid local user by adding an local_server_key_header header contains the local server certificate with the following string structure mac_address:local_server_api_secret_key.

To allow it, set REMOTE_SERVER_URL environment variable contained the remote server URL and RF_REPOSITORY_API_KEY with same key in the remote server to validate Rf commands validations requests, see .env.example for example.

• GET /devices
• POST /devices json={ brand : string, model: string, category: string, commands: object }
• PUT /devices/{brand}/{model} json={ brand : string, model: string, category: string }
• DELETE /devices/{brand}/{model}
• GET /rf/{brand}/{model}
• PUT /rf/{brand}/{model} json={ commands: object }
